This is a level headed nuanced piece and I appreciate that. Many people speak with certainty on whatever gets their tribal instincts aroused. We might all be better citizens if we form loosely held opinions developed after as much fact checking and non-emotion driven deliberation as we can muster, and be ready to update them as new data comes in.

Yep, we can do better. Even as social media rewards the extremes, we can strive to be more level headed and less playground level.

Take care of that messed up back! Happy weekend!

It's far easier to jump on a bandwagon than it is to pause and reflect, analyze available data, and form an opinion while keeping it contingent on changing information.

I just saw a other claim that his position as DOGE czar and his sudden wealth are somehow related. Sure, there was a chain of first one thing and then the other, but the causal link is missing from this social media analysis. Non sequitur, or, it does not follow. It's a classic post hoc fallacy to say A following B alone proves that B caused A.

I'm a big fan of the post hoc, ergo propter hoc logical fallacy.

Yep, just because it happens before, or even right before something else, doesn't necessarily mean it caused the something else. It may have, but it may not have.

Thanks for the post and interaction, I appreciate you! Have a great week ahead!

(And if you do, I won't claim my last sentence caused it.) 😃👍
